We have developed transactional expertise over decades of preparing and executing all necessary documents to accomplish transfer of title with minimal risk. Our thorough understanding of real estate transactions is a compliment to our property litigation services, through which we defend our clients’ property rights in disputes regarding boundaries, easements, trespass, and nuisance, among other things. We provide a full range of transaction and litigation services to individual home buyers, commercial property owners, and real estate and commercial mortgage lenders.
Business Formation and Litigation
Mailloux & Marden helps individuals and businesses in the process of creating and maintaining business entities, including corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies. We have experience in drafting and filing all necessary agreements, charters, bylaws, and compliance documents with the Secretary of State and other regulators. Our understanding of business transactions and planning gives us an advantage when representing parties in disputes within businesses, including dissolution and governance conflicts. We also represent businesses in lawsuits against other businesses and individuals, including premises liability, mechanics’ liens, construction disputes, and all aspects of contract law.

Mailloux & Marden serves as counsel to towns and cities in Waldo and Knox counties. In this role, we offer advice and guidance to municipal officers in the fulfillment of their public duties and provide representation to local governments in lawsuits filed by and against them.

Criminal Defense
Mailloux & Marden represents people charged with crimes in both state and federal court. Criminal law is a unique, complex subject matter that requires dedication and continuous study of the law and a broad range of factual and evidentiary issues.

Mailloux & Marden has obtained numerous favorable outcomes for our clients through independent investigations, motions to suppress evidence on constitutional grounds, contested hearings, negotiation, and jury trials. We passionately defend the rights guaranteed to all people by the constitutions of Maine and the United States.
